tech21 Introduces Evo Xplorer Waterproof Case for When #lifehappens

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 22, 2016) -  tech21, the leader in impact protection for mobile devices and the fastest-growing major case brand in the U.S.*, today announced its new waterproof Evo Xplorer case for Apple iPhone 6/6s, available exclusively at Best Buy stores nationwide and online at tech21.com.

Designed to withstand everything life can throw its way, the Evo Xplorer was engineered from the ground up to offer maximum protection without compromise. The case is completely waterproof up to 9.9 feet for up to an hour; combined with FlexShock technology the Xplorer is also dustproof, snow-proof and shockproof. So whether it's swimming, snowboarding, the sticky hands of a child or an accidental drop in the bathroom, Evo Xplorer will keep the precious device inside fully protected, perfect for all those moments when #lifehappens.

The transparent case makes it easy to check for debris, and sealed buttons allow access to all ports and functions, including Touch ID, while a unique mechanical crown controls the ring/silent button.

The Evo Xplorer also comes with a SecureClip locking system that keeps the case shut tight and the phone safe, even on impact. Unlike other waterproof cases, the Evo Xplorer's ingenious design and high quality components mean exceptional sound quality, so neither phone nor audio performance is compromised, even when fully protected. 

"We are excited to offer a premium phone case solution to give our customers maximum protection in those moments when life just happens," said Jason Roberts, CEO of tech21. "Every Evo Xplorer case is rigorously tested before it leaves our factory to ensure we provide the most advanced protection that works harmoniously with your iPhone 6/6s -- no matter what life throws at it."

tech21 does what other case-makers cannot by combining science, engineering and British design to create cases that address three core benefits: style, protection and performance. As technology advances, tech21 has evolved its materials to meet the needs of today's consumers. The result is the world's most advanced impact protection material -- FlexShock™. Featured in the Evo Xplorer, the material absorbs and dissipates force and can withstand drops up to 6.6 feet. Ultra-thin and lightweight, tech21's unique FlexShock™ material results in impact protection that's up to 30 percent thinner and 60 percent lighter than competitor cases offering similar levels of protection.

The Evo Xplorer is now available in Best Buy stores nationwide and online at BestBuy.com and tech21.com. The Evo Xplorer case for iPhone 6/6s can be purchased for $89.95 MRSP.
